SAMPLE STUDY -
RADIOLARIA PAVILION BY SHIRO STUDIO
Andrea Morgante, founder of Shiro Studio, has collaborated with D-Shape to
produce the Radiolaria pavilion, a complex, free-form structure produced using
the world’s largest 3D printer.
Measuring 3 x 3 x 3 metres, the structure is a scale model of a final 10-metre
tall pavilion to be built in Pontedera, Italy, in 2010. D-Shape developed the first
large-scale stereolithic printer in 2008 aiming to offer architects the design freedom
that rapid prototyping allows them but has so far been confined to scale
models. The structure is made of an artificial sandstone material and does not
feature any internal, steel reinforcement.

DESIGN STRATEGY 01- ELEMENTS FROM VICTORIAN AGE PATTERN’S
RE-TREATMENT
The new studio’s plan is a combination of pattern elements and studio’s programmatic study. The scale study is set up in 3*3*3m gird (the standard printing bed dimension from mega rapid prototype machine)
Pattern’s transition from 2D to 3D Frame network_
A parametric script has been built for the series curve rebuild process. Massive rapid products have then been generated through the changing of curve angle, the subdivision points amount
Drawing here is the very basic starting of organizing the pattern responsive studio. Volumetric surface is expanding and responsive to basic ‘rebuild pattern wire-frame from previous step.
As the very initial form exploration process, the studio’s variation is a parametric
treatment to existing Victorian pattern’s element(s). Here, five different
possbilities of studio types are the result of analyzing existing craft treasure.
The strip element is deformed by controling of 3D printing given grid (3m*
3m) on the base .Space arrangement is basing on the previous block programmatic
study and three types of circulation system studies: Visitors, Buyers,
Craftman.
The control of Heigh (Z-axis) and openess is based on three majoy parts in
one studio componant: Show Room, Sale Space, and Workshop Area. This
is a special design strategy that is aiming to create a new mode of interface
between craft artist and the coming visitors. In a way, this studio is fusing
workshop together with show space and shop. From making, to showing and
selling, crafts council will offer digital artists a platform of advertising themselves.
The paramtric control offers more effecient method of merging different using
conditions by different studio types( weaving, ceramic, stone carving). Also it
gives a good base of applying ornamental reponsive space later.
These five types are the responsive volumetric strip basing on previous Wireframe
exploration. These single studio prototypes offer the arrangement possibilities
for the next step’s various studio combination option.
